How to open CLM2 file?

The most common problem when using Clipboard Master Database Format is that a specific CLM2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CLM2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CLM2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Clipboard Master

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Clipboard Master is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Clipboard Master in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CLM2 files.

Programs to open CLM2 file

Remember to download programs supporting CLM2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Clipboard Master with CLM2 files

If, despite the installed application, the CLM2 file does not start in the Clipboard Master application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CLM2 file with the Clipboard Master program.

Step 3. Update Clipboard Master to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Clipboard Master program with the Clipboard Master Database Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Jumping Bytes website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLM2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CLM2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CLM2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CLM2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CLM2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CLM2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CLM2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CLM2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CLM2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CLM2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
